Have been absent here for more than a week, mainly due to other work committments and a Queen’s Birthday getaway that has put Fill The Dams on the backburner for the time being. Unfortunately little in the way of news and exciting updates has happened since I last posted, but I don’t want to delay this next post any longer than I have to!

It was a fair disappointment that the press release went largely unnoticed by the local and online press. Without feedback, it’s a little difficult to pinpoint the exact reason I couldn’t catch their attention. Perhaps the killer hook was missing, the subject matter isn’t appealing or the sudden downpur (including insane flooding in New South Wales) and onset of winter is just plain old bad timing. Received a curt “we’ll pass” from an MX reporter, and another journo responded that she didn’t have time to read it.

Will just have to dust myself off and come up with a Plan B, and hopefully we’ll start to see Fill The Dams gain some legs. One suggestion given to me was to phone and pester journalists to take on the story, but I don’t have access to any direct lines. Any well connected folks out there able to help with hooking me up?

I can definitely see a stroke of luck just around the corner
